Quotes from Britany

I think success is being happy— whatever is going to make you happy.If that’s a ton of money in the bank so you can feel secure, then that’s success for you. If it’s having the time freedom or location freedom to work wherever you want, or not work whenever you want, and from anywhere in the world, which is what my version of success looks like. You know it’s different for everybody but when it comes down to it, it’s just being happy with the life that you live on a daily basis. (6:15)

You know I started reading these travel blogs and started listening to podcasts and started following entrepreneurs who had businesses around this type of subject and I just consumed so much of it until I believed wholeheartedly that I could do it. If all these other could do it then, why can’t I? And so that’s always what I recommend to other people because they think everyone else can have it but they can’t and that’s not true. So you just have to keep consuming information of people doing what you want to do until it sinks in that it’s possible for you as well. (16:32)
